NYU Libraries Data Services: GIS Day at NYU
Geographic information systems (GIS) allow us to take spatial data from various sources, overlay map layers, analyze and model the data, and visualize the results in maps, reports, and charts. As a research institution, NYU has a growing community that is using GIS to gain new insights in a wide range of fields.
Introducing NYU’s New Spatial Data Repository
The GIS services at the DSS support teaching, learning, and research with geospatial technology across the University. The Spatial Data Repository (SDR) is a welcome addition to the GIS services long provided by the Data Service Studio.
Nobel Prize-Winning NYU Economics Professor Aided by HPC Services
On October 10th, 2011, professor Sargent and Princeton University professor Christopher Sims were honored by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences with the Noble Prize in Economics for “empirical research on cause and effect in the macroeconomy.”
Research Using the NYU HPC Service
NYU’s high performance computing systems are a vital resource for University research in the sciences and across the disciplinary spectrum. Here is just a sampling of recent research performed using NYU HPC resources.
High Performance Computing Made Easier
Using NYU’s High Performance Computing service released a new support wiki. This wiki offers expanded information about the resources of the NYU HPC service—information that will help researchers whether they are currently using the service, just getting started, or considering using high performance resources.
